[deep-report] Investigate Doc Build - Deploy 100% action_required: deployment gate permanently blocked #30856

Summary

The Doc Build - Deploy workflow has achieved 0 successful runs in all recent analysis windows (0/3 in the last 7-day sample, 100% action_required). The deployment gate is never cleared, meaning documentation updates are never deployed to users. This is a chronic P1 with no active investigation.

Impact

• Documentation changes are not being deployed (deployment gate perpetually blocked)
• Every Doc Build run completes the build phase but stalls at deployment
• Users depending on updated documentation are receiving stale content
• Quality score: 40/100, Effectiveness: 30/100 (Agent Performance Report)

Root Cause Hypotheses

1. A required CI check (e.g., TestStrictModePermissions) is failing, blocking the deployment gate
2. A deployment environment secret or token has expired
3. The deployment gate approval workflow requires a human reviewer that is not assigned
4. A GitHub Pages or deployment environment configuration has changed

Steps to Investigate

1. Find the most recent Doc Build - Deploy run and examine the deployment step output
2. Check if any required status checks are failing (look for CI test failures gating deployment)
3. Verify deployment environment secrets are valid and non-expired
4. Check if a required environment reviewer is configured but no one is assigned
5. Compare the deployment configuration against a known-good historical run

Acceptance Criteria

• Root cause identified and documented
• At least one successful Doc Build - Deploy run
• Deployment gate cleared and documentation updated
